Can you put the probe into the meat, WHILE the meat is cooking in the oven? Or do you have to take the food out of the oven to get the temp?

Erica, the probe has a long, very thin, flexible cable that is connected to the timer/monitor device. You stick the probe into the item being cooked, put it in the oven, probe attached, with the cable coming out the oven door, connected to the timer which will sit on a shelf or counter near or oven, or can attach to the oven, etc. by magnet on the unit's back. So you don't have to keep opening the oven door, etc. to check temperature while cooking.

The whole probe is in the meat during the entire cooking prosess allowing you to set and forget the exact tempature of the meat you are cooking.

Put the probe in the meat in the oven or grill when you start cooking. Close the oven door or grill lid. The probe's wire can then be plugged in to the register outside the oven or grill. The oven door and grill lid can and will close around the wire and not impact oven or grill temperature.

You cannot leave it in the oven. You'll have to pull the roast forward, insert the thermometer, turn it on after insertion then remove and push the roast back into the oven.

Keep in mind that this is designed as meat thermometer and is intended to measure the temperature of the meat(while cooking) it only goes to 200 degrees. I don't think you want to leave it the oven at any temperature higher than 200 degree. That being said this works fine for checking the temperature of meat, however I would purchase a different model for use as a over thermometer, fortunately Amazon has many to choose from. I hope that helps you.

The probe only measures the air temperature, not the internal temperature of the thing you are cooking. So it has to not touch the cooking surface, nor the food being cooked. We find it quite fragile, and removing it from the holder designed for an over rack is always a risk. That said, we have used it with a turkey roaster oven, and it did work. But keeping it from touching the turkey or side of the roaster, which would throw off the reading, is very difficult. So I doubt it would work on a stovetop pan. We just got a "Maverick Laser Surface Thermometer" from Amazon which might work better for you. But we haven't really had a chance to try it out yet.

Well I bought this strictly to use when I cook meat with god-only-knows-what still alive within ready to make me sick. I should think sticking it into your cheesecake would give you a temperature if that would help you. By the way I really like this probe. Good luck.

Yes, I put it in before I put the meat in the oven. I move the blue arrow to the finish temp. That way it is easy to see through the glass.

Yes, put one probe for measuring the oven temperature near mid-height in oven and the other into the food. Mine showed my oven was was actually 35°F hotter than what was set on the dial and explained why cookies got burned so easily. Adjusted dial, no more burned cookies.

No. I would not leave this thermometer in the oven during cooking. It was made for instant read.

Lynn, you do not check the food with this thermometer, I use mine in the grease to make sure of the correct temperature. You need a meat thermometer.

It only has one temp probe input, so if you ONLY wanted to monitor the oven, then yes. If you wanted to monitor your food and the oven temp, you would need a monitor with dual inputs. There might be better temp probes for the job though (check the thermoworks website for options), the needle probe is not ideally suited for measuring air temp, but it does do the job.

The probe is 2 3/4 inches long. I would think you don't have to go to the very center to get an appropriate reading. Remember also, the meat temp will rise at least 5 degrees after taking it out of the oven.

the only way that would work is if you drilled a hole in the oven. The probe needs to be inside and the dial or face needs to be outside of the heat source.

The box says the probes can handle up to 716 degrees Farhenheit. The probes wires are fairly short though. It might be hard for them to reach the food in a big oven and still leave enough length to place the thermometer on a counter. I do believe they sell probes with longer wires if needed.

I believe you can, and you might not need to even buy another meat probe. You might get away with using that bbq temp sensor. I'll have to try that sometime. IF they're the same type of meat, and you're using a heat diffuser, all the pieces of meat should finish at the same time. IF they're different types of meat, you could use they meat probe on the faster cooking meat. Once it hits its temp, remove the meat and put the meat probe into the slower cooking meat. Just some suggestions.

Yes you can. Just make sure everything is fully cooked all the way through. I'd use a meat thermometer just to be on the safe side.

If this happens on every use, the probe or wire is probably bad. I have never had a problem when using a probe in the oven, but on the BBQ, the probe wire can be subjected to extreme temps. Say during a flare up or right over a burner. What I do now is loosely roll on foil from the beginning of the probe to the point the wire exits the BBQ. About 3 layer wrap seems good so far. The extreme temps inside a BBQ can melt the wire inside the mesh wire cover. It's heat resistant - not heat proof.

I would not try to use the meat probe. The wire from the Monitor to the probe would get tangled while the rotisserie is spinning. You could use the temp probe to monitor the BBQ temp as long as it was fixed to grate.
